  System File Checker is not a universal solution, but it can help in certain situations.

  You really ned to determine the nature of the error before deciding on solutions.

  Event Viewer reports

  1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

  2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

  3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

  4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

  6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

  7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

• System File Checker detects files from oembios that cannot be repaired

  I ran the System File Checker on my computer Dell Dimension, and he found files that cannot be repaired: oembios.dat, oembios.sig and oembios.bin. The computer has Windows XP with Service Pack 3 installed and was purchased new in December 2002. The original XP installation disk that I've ever used, a SP1 is installed.

  Event Viewer gave this message for one of these files after run the System File Checker. "The oembios.sig of file protected system could not be restored to its original, valid version. "The file version of the bad file is 0.0.0.1 the specific error code is 0x800b0100 [no signature was present in the subject.]."

  Everything works well, and these corrupted files seem to have no effect on the operation of the computer. I even ran a Seagate hard drive diagnostic test, and it passed. These files, compressed copies that are in c:\i386 and on the installation disc, be repaired and properly placed in their place in c:\Windows\System32?

  Thank you, Robert. I tried your suggested solutions.

  First, I tried expanding oembios.si_ of the CD on the e drive (CD player) after the reboot. But I got this message from the command prompt: "cannot open the input e:oembios.si_ file."

  Second, I tried to develop oembios.si_ of the c drive, where I know it exists in c:\i386. Yet once again, I got the same message that the input file cannot be opened.

  This has proved to be a sticky problem. Fortunately, my computer still works well. It is just that I do not have corrupt files hidden.

• With no CD/DVD System File Checker

  I have an Asus Eee 901 Win XP family.  The netbook lacks a CD/DVD drive.  How can I run the System File Checker when he asks I insert the Windows XP SP3 CD?  Is it possible to have the System File Checker displays the name of the file it wants to repair/replace?

  Hi DonMay,

  You have the installation files to your hard drive? Folder i386?

  You need to change the path to the registry click Start-> Run & Type-> regedit-> ok-> navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\-> double click-> SourcePath-> enter the location of the reader.

  Also check-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion-> SourcePath.

  If the I386 directory is at C:\I386, the SourcePath value is C:\

  or if the I386 directory is at C:\Win\I386, the SourcePath value is C:\Win.

  I hope this helps.

• SFC (System File Checker) and using a DVD

  I got Windows Home Media 2005 on DVD. I had to reinstall the OS. I want to run SFC (System File Checker) to ensure the OS files are not corrupt from time to time. SFC always calls for a CD, does not recognize my DVD player. How can I check my OS with a DVD files?

  Why you think you have corrupted files from time to time?  You specify that you encounter a system problem, but didn't say exactly what it is!  I have hundreds of things file corrupted in my notes.

  When the system does not start successfully, exactly what is happening and what are you doing in this regard?

  Do you receive messages like that or something different?

  Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

  A chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console will usually straighten this out right.

  According to what you see, you can also receive a CD bootable XP Recovery Console you can do (no XP media required).

  Since the XP Recovery Console, you can run the chkdsk command, generally replace all corrupted files since there are copies more already on your HARD drive in another place and other things.  It depends on what problems you see with this kind of corruption...

  I will include the instructions below.

  I never tried to slipstream XP Home - and may not try because I think I let someone borrow my CD XP Home and he has never had back.

  Here are the integrated installation instructions that usually a link:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/slipstreaming-Windows-XP-to-create-bootable-CD/

  It's another good forum for slipstreaming questions (I hang there too).

  A few Google searches (for something like xp slipstream) get your other similar instructions.

  Once you get it built, if you have enough space HARD drive somewhere, you can just copy it on a HARD drive and then tell XP to find files from the HDD instead of the CD (it's more convenient and faster).

  Here are the instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Scan SFC (System File Checker) freezes at 13%

  Original title: sfx.exe evil

  SFX.exe disorder

  Hi guys, something's wrong with my computer. I've been looking around these discussions and decided that I had to rune sfc.exe/scannow in a high cmd but it freezes at 13%. There are split on what to do next, so I was hoping someone could help me (thinking about running an InPlace upgrade). Is it the right choice?

  Hello

  Why you ran SFC (System File Checker)?

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if SFC works.

  Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

  Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

  Hope this information helps.
